EVE Online

It’s hard to believe that Eve Online has been around for 10 years, but the sci-fi MMO has stood the test of time. It has kept its core audience intact and expanded it, a feat few of its peers have accomplished. Credit the game’s player-driven economy and compelling gameplay. As the MMO enters its next 10 years, the folks at CCP are offering an anniversary edition marking the milestone. Appropriately called Eve: The Second Decade Collector’s Edition, the entry is for hard-core fans who must own everything Eve or someone who is looking to get into the MMO. I had a chance to unbox one recently and here’s what’s in the $149.99 item.

CCP, developers of the space-based MMO EVE Online, are hinting at an upcoming console FPS set in the EVE universe.

Eurogamer reports seeing video of “…a Halo-like shooter on a daylit, Earth-like planet surface,” and that “The architecture and gun designs were clearly redolent of the space MMO’s art style.” Earlier in the presentation there had been mention of a console strategy. It doesn’t take Sherlock Holmes to put together the clues here.

I’m in favor of successful games branching out into different genres, it’s a way for developers to make money off successful intellectual properties without inundating us with endless sequels, but odds are we have a while before we’ll be seeing this potential title since CCP has their hands full with a massive EVE expansion and a new MMO entirely.
